| Abstract | In this paper, we describe a generalized approach toderiving a custom data layout in multiple memory banksfor array-based computations, to facilitate high-bandwidthparallel memory accesses in modern architectures wheremultiple memory banks can simultaneously feed one ormore functional units. We do not use a fixed data layout,but rather select application-specific layouts according toaccess patterns in the code. A unique feature of this approachis its flexibility in the presence of code reorderingtransformations, such as the loop nest transformations commonlyapplied to array-based computations. We have implementedthis algorithm in the DEFACTO system, a designenvironment for automatically mapping C programsto hardware implementations for FPGA-based systems. Wepresent experimental results for five multimedia kernels thatdemonstrate the benefits of this approach. Our results showthat custom data layout yields results as good as, or betterthan, naive or fixed cyclic layouts, and is significantly betterfor certain access patterns and in the presence of codereordering transformations. When used in conjunction withunrolling loops in a nest to expose instruction-level parallelism,we observe greater than a 75% reduction in the numberof memory access cycles and speedups ranging from3.96 to 46.7 for 8 memories, as compared to using a singlememory with no unrolling. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
